Keep praying

My friend C had her biopsy this afternoon. Her mom called me and told me that the doctor didn't leave a mark. Not knowing what that meant, I had to ask. The lump was too large. She will met with her doctor on Thursday to discuss treatment, which will probably include a mastectomy, followed by chemo and radiation. I didn't talk C tonight, she was trying to sleep, the drugs were helping her. Other than my cousin who died of ovarian cancer 9 years ago, I have not had anyone close to me with cancer. C's mom told me tonight that when we're sick we have to trust God with our lives. Which I totally believe, but I also know that's not the easiest thing to do. A prayer group that I attended at the time of my Mom's stroke/heart surgery/heart failure/death,I remained in the group then just 8 months after my Mom's death I learn that my heart aneurysm was at a delicate growth increase. I knew I needed surgery right away.I felt like a time bomb, it wasn't so easy to trust God at this point. The prior 14 months were very stressful, didn't help much with that trust either. Through the prayers of this group, and so many other people, I was able to let go and trust God. Not that I didn't flounder because it would be a lie to say I hadn't. I was very blessed in having a wonderful and supportive friends. I pray that I will be a supportive and prayerful friend to C.
